TradeWinds SmartShipping 2012 is sponsored by Inmarsat, RightShip, ClassNK, Lloyd's Register, ABS, Spectec, Aspida, Executives International, Gemanischer Lloyd and supported by MPA, InterManager, ShipServ.
The TradeWinds SmartShipping conference is based precisely on this premise and will leave the issues of green or sustainable shipping to others, while focusing on the very real and very practical challenges facing ship owners and operators today.
NHST Events and Lloyd's Register team up to present the SmartSurvey, asking ship owners, operators and all parties relevant in a vessel's life cycle the pertinent questions that will reveal what they really think, and where shipping is headed next.
